Mounting Additional Tapes

To copy one or more files stored on a tape to disk, you use the RESTORE command. For example, you might need to restore a single file when a user accidentally deletes it. Or, someone may ask you to restore all the files in an account (after you have permanently archived it and deleted the files) because the user needs access to the files again. After a system failure, you might need to restore all of your files from backup tapes.

  • Determining what files are on a STORE tape
